TEFL teacher training

No matter what stage you are at in your professional career, or University education (including 18 year old school leavers!), Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) can be an exciting short-term or long-term work opportunity in the UK or abroad.

Our expert team of trainers have years of experience within the EFL industry as teachers, teacher trainers, course writers and academic managers. Most of them worked overseas before deciding to come back to the UK to train teachers... Oh, they're a friendly bunch of people too!

Oxford International Teacher Training also design and deliver tailor-made courses for EFL and non-EFL teaching professionals, in the UK or abroad. Courses in the UK can take place at either of our main centres, and also at our centre in Oxford. Contact us to arrange a consultation.

Testimonials

"Since completing the Cert TESOL course at Oxford International, I have been working hard. I have lots of classes and have actually already seen a return on the price I paid for the TESOL course so I am pretty happy. My students are fantastic which makes it very easy!"

Alan Cunningham

TESOL Dec 2016

"I had 4 great weeks on the CertTESOL course in London. It balanced learning the technicalities of language, analysing teaching methods and practising them. The tutors gave valuable insight from their own experience and space to create our own teaching style. Importantly, we did this in an atmosphere that was not only relaxed and comfortable, but encouraging and constructive."

Olly Goodhall

TESOL Apr 2011

"It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I learned more about grammar and phonology in a month than I did in 4 years of university in Australia! The most valuable element was the insight I received in engaging students of all abilities using a variety of strategies - skills I can use for the rest of my career."

Chris Winters

TESOL Aug 2011

"A valuable and incomparable experience. From day one on, the OIEG tutors and my classmates made me feel way more than comfortable. This warm atmosphere, and the highly professional input sessions and coaching with subsequent practice, enormously enriched my abilities as a future TEFL teacher."

Andrea Stroebel

"The CertTESOL is great in so many ways. The tutors are incredibly supportive, the course is well structured and very thorough, and the centre has a great atmosphere. I was made to feel like I was a part of the school from day one and made friends with new classmates, teachers and students from all over the world."

"This course is rewarding, demanding and valuable. The quality of training was extremely high and it was clear the trainers wanted each trainee to do as well as possible. They were professional and rigorous yet friendly and approachable. I recommend that anybody who plans to work in the industry, seriously considers training here."

Matt Shrewbridge

"Thanks for all the help you gave us in the last month. I am very happy with the experience - it was really challenging for me, and it was amazing! I would recommend this TEFL course to anyone."

Angela Tranfa

TESOL Mar 2012

"I really learned so much at Oxford International in Greenwich. The techniques seen, critiques heard and encouragement I received changed me. My lessons are less teacher focused and more student focused, and I realised I had to help my students take ownership of their learning."

Carolyne Hall

TESOL Mar 2012

"I will take this opportunity to thank you for a fantastic course. I absolutely loved it. When my colleagues are sharing horror stories from their courses, I have nothing to bring to the table! Your course is professional, varied and thorough. You all know what you are doing, but are also very approachable."

Mark Ellis

"A well-designed course, delivered by professionals. From day one, our trainers made us feel enthusiastic and confident, and were willing to help us at every stage. Each day of study brought a wealth of new knowledge and experience to me and my fellow trainees. I recommend this course to anybody with an interest in teaching English as a foreign language."

"The CertTESOL course in Brighton was extremely professional and prepared me well for life in the classroom. The expertise of our tutor Matt was inexhaustible and I felt very confident with the level of training I was receiving. Thank you."

Dotti Calvin

TESOL Apr 2013

"The course was incredibly rewarding, challenging and fun! I had a great experience being taught by the Greenwich tutors, who were all extremely supportive and worked exhaustively to ensure we all did the best we could. The professional & approachable manner within the classroom made me feel like I was part of a team from the start and I learned something new & valuable from 9 to 5 each day. Thanks for a memorable month, it was fantastic!"

Meghan Gebhardt

TESOL Aug 2014

"I am so pleased I chose to study the Cert TESOL at Oxford International. Our trainers were supportive, motivating and very knowledgeable. Their experience and enthusiasm alongside a well structured course made the whole process an enjoyable challenge. At the start of the course I wondered how on earth I would be prepared to teach by the end of the 13 weeks, but now I feel confident that I can go out into the teaching world and start my career. I would thoroughly recommend the course to others wishing to gain a TEFL qualification."
